A friendly reminder that socialism is not communism. The latter is closer to capitalism as it’s just state-owned instead of privately owned. However, socialism and capitalism can coexist, which cannot be said the same about communism.

LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•China’s middle class does not ‘dare to spend’ until post-Covid economy shows clear signs of recovery91·1 year agoSame, except I have nothing to spend. Lol
This is why I’ve been researching and working on FOSS AI systems. My own AI cannot fire me. ;)
LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Catastrophic change looms as Earth nears climate ‘tipping points’, report says31·1 year agoDon’t worry, soon you’ll fell numb hearing informations like this, like some of us already do.
It used to affect me deeply too, until I realised people truly don’t care, especially the wealthy ones that have the means to do something about it.
I’m still doing my part trying to follow the principles I believe in, but if you asked me if I’m going to be shouting from the top of my lungs to warn people that we really are getting to the tipping point, I wouldn’t.
The tipping point (for me) was already crossed 15 years ago, and if the masses still don’t get it, then they’ll never get it.
Enjoy life for what it is, following your principles and being true to yourself, but don’t let it bring you down, unless you want to turn into a grouchy old lady, or a man, yelling at clouds.
LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Energy minister says hydrogen will 'not play a major role' in heating homes in the UK11·1 year agoHydrogen is less efficient than electricity, and takes more energy to produce. Unless the process improves significantly, I can understand why it won’t be the major source of heat for home use.

promise is not met, which timeouts the entire connection for 5 full seconds.
LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does Marijuana Make Anybody Pass Out Like Me?41·1 year agoI have the same reaction. Weed makes me sleepy, and the only good thing about it is some of the wildest vivid dreams I had happened right after smoking it.
LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Affordable MiniPC / SBC for self hosting? Will connect to 1x SSD and 2x HDD.13·1 year agoA steam deck might be a cheaper alternative.
LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Exciting news! The free API you were using is no more free!3·1 year agoI would see this comment as silly, if not for the fact they changed the domain from .org to .com
It’s all about business now.
LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•OpenSubtitles.org is shutting down it's previous API. Now only authenticated access allowed.11·1 year agoEvery service that disabled or limited the API has seen an increase in running costs, because people turn to scraping, which costs them more resources overall, and cannot be controlled by the site owners as easily.
Let’s be honest, though, hosting text files with a search bar isn’t that much expensive to justify a response like this.
It’s fine if they want to earn money, but then they should be upfront about it, and not making up stories about fluke running costs. I’d rather see a donation button.

Now only authenticated access allowed.351·1 year agoOpensubtitles does not create the subtitles, that’s done by the community, which is being monetised and sub authors get nothing out of it.
What are the implications in regards to the lifespan of the disk used as cache? Any potential downsides?

LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto science@lemmy.world•Scientists make crucial discovery on the existence of time travel5·1 year agoAI summaries are really good. I do believe this was written by a person.
LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Why OLED monitor burn-in isn’t a huge problem anymore64·1 year agoMy 2009 LCD panel still works perfectly and has been repurposed as a dining room TV. While it may not excel in reproducing black levels, it continues to function just as it did when I first purchased it. I am not going to bother with OLED if it means having to replace the screen every 2-3 years.
LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto HistoryPorn@lemmy.world•Stockholm on 'H-Day', when Sweden swapped from driving on the left-side of the road to the right, 1967181·1 year agoH stands for ‘horeson,’ as it seems to have been the most uttered word on that fateful day and in the weeks that followed. It appears drivers weren’t quite pleased with the switch to right-side driving!
LoafyLemon@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•NYC protesters demand Israeli cease-fire, at least 200 detained after filling Grand Central station22·1 year agoNo, thanks, I’m good. I like to keep my news diet diverse, not relying on just one source of information.
